Afternoon, ma'am. I was wondering if Mr Bates might be at home.
Mr Bates is dead. He died over a week ago.
Oh, you mean he passed over, ma'am?
Why, I was just talking to him not less than a month ago.
What was it you wanted?
Well... My name is Pray, Kansas Bible Company.
I'm just here to deliver this bible that Mr Bates ordered.
- Bible? - Who is it? What's the trouble?
Something about Benjamin buying a bible.
Bible? What kind of bible?
He said he talked to Benjamin, less than a month ago.
Well, I'm... I'm not exactly sure of the dates, ma'am.
Well, I don't see how.
Benjamin didn't go nowheres near that shop
for more than a month before he died.
Well, I may be a little mixed up on the dates.
What company you say you're from?
The Kansas Bible Company, out of Wichita.
Kansas Bible Company?
I ain't never heard of no Kansas Bible Company.
Daddy, can't we go now? I want to get to church and pray for Mama.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Sure we can, honey.
Daddy was just fixin' to leave.
This here is my little girl. It's just the two of us now.
- My Mama's gone to the Lord. - Oh, so has poor Mr Bates, honey.
I'll just, uh, give you back his dollar deposit,
and you let us know if there's anything we can do.
Hold on, there. Wait one damn minute.
He actually done ordered a bible, huh?
Uh, he sure did. Here it is, right here in gold for somebody named "Marie".
That's her. She's Marie.
Oh, she sure did mean a lot to him.
He especially had me get the deluxe edition.
How much to keep this here book?
- 12 dollars? - 12 dollars?
Uh, yeah, well, honey, we have to have a little goodness in our hearts,
- I mean, considering the circumstances. - Never mind the circumstances.
And if it'll make that woman happy, I'll take it.
You owe me 85 dollars and 74 cents.
